Can you believe it's already February? We love our Sargeant community. Thank you for your unwavering support of our school, our students, and one another. We appreciate you!
February: Knowledgeable
Students who are KNOWLEDGEABLE have explored relevant and significant
concepts and can apply this knowledge to new situations.
How can families help at home?
Encourage your child to read books at home that correspond with the topics being covered in school.
Encourage your child to read books at home in your home language.
Ask your child about what they are learning in school and engage them in conversations about it: “Why do you think that is an important thing to know about?”
PBIS Focus for February: Be Responsible
This month we will work on emphasizing the connection between our IB attribute of being knowledgeable with our PBIS focus of being responsible. When we KNOW better, we DO better. We are always working to help our students be the best version of themselves. This responsibility at school includes completing work, owning up to one’s mistakes, asking for help when it’s needed, and taking care of one’s own needs. We always emphasize to our students that taking responsibility for themselves is of utmost importance. These concepts can also be applied at home. Join us in making our Bulldogs knowledgeable AND responsible.
Girls on the Run
We are so excited to offer Girls On the Run this year! This is a wonderful opportunity for girls in grades 3-5 to have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels and learn important life skills. The program runs for 8 weeks and will start in February. During this time they will work with and learn from our Sargeant coaches (two of our fabulous teachers) while training for a 5K. Registration opens on January 28th! Mark your calendars. Here is a flyer with more information. Please reach out to Cathy Gibson or Jennifer Danielson with questions about the program or registration. The cost is $145 for registration. Financial assistance is available! Please reach out to Julie Murdaugh with questions about or requests for financial assistance. We don’t want any girls left out!!
Safety
We are having problems with children hanging out in the park unsupervised after school. Please remind your child that if they walk or ride their bike home, it is important that they go directly home. Many parents stay in the park with their children after school but this makes it difficult for our teacher on duty to determine if the child(ren) is/are being supervised. If your child is waiting in the park to be picked up, please arrive by 3:30. Our teacher on duty leaves the park at this time and sends any students not yet picked up to the front office. We cannot leave unsupervised children in the park. Thank you for understanding.
Early Dismissal
Monday’s dismissal is 2:00. Thank you for picking up your child on time. We appreciate your help.
